Square Yards (yd²)
Definition
A square yard (yd²) is an imperial unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides of 1 yard (3 feet). It equals 9 square feet or approximately 0.8361 square meters.
History
The yard has roots in Anglo-Saxon England. King Henry I reportedly defined the yard as the distance from his nose to the tip of his outstretched arm. The square yard became a natural unit for measuring moderate-sized areas.
Current use
Square yards are used for measuring carpet, flooring, fabric, and moderate land areas — especially in the United States, the United Kingdom, and India for construction and textile industries.
Townships
Definition
A township (survey) is a unit of area in the US Public Land Survey System equal to 36 sections, or approximately 93.24 square kilometers (36 square miles).
History
Townships were created by the US Land Ordinance of 1785 as a systematic method for dividing and settling western territories. Each township is a 6-mile by 6-mile square grid.
Current use
Townships remain in use for legal land descriptions in the United States, particularly in states that were surveyed under the Public Land Survey System. They serve as administrative and geographic reference units.
